HOLLYWOOD, Fla. — A 26-year-old man told police that he thought he had hit “something, but did not think much of it,” according to a Seminole Police Department officer’s report on a fatal crash near the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino.
Ludgy Sanon allegedly also told his brother that he had borrowed his 2000 Lexus GS 300 and remembered “striking a pothole” after work on Jan. 13, according to the Seminole police officer’s report.
On Jan. 16, the police officer reported telling Sanon, 26, that he suspected he had run over a motorcyclist who was ejected after a crash on Jan. 13 at the intersection of State Road 7 and Lucky Street.
“Sanon appeared visibly shocked and mortified, especially after learning that the individual had died,” the police officer wrote, according to the arrest report.
Shortly after midnight on a rainy Jan. 13, a 62-year-old woman was driving a 2015 Toyota Camry northbound on SR-7, and she was attempting to make a turn at Lucky Street when she collided with the motorcyclist, who had been traveling southbound on SR-7, according to the police report.
The motorcyclist “braked and lost control, causing the motorcycle to fall and slide into the passenger side of the Camry,” the police officer wrote, according to the report. The motorcyclist “was ejected ... and landed on the roadway.”
A witness told police officers that he was on the fifth floor of the Lucky Street garage at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino when he heard the “loud bang” after the crash between the Camry and the motorcyclist, according to the report.
The witness reported seeing the motorcyclist “lying on the roadway,” rushing to see if he could help, finding the motorcyclist “unresponsive,” and then watching helplessly as a driver ran him over and kept on going, according to the report.
Seminole Fire Rescue personnel took the motorcyclist to Memorial Regional Hospital, where staff pronounced him dead, according to police.
A police officer reported finding surveillance videos that showed the Lexus at the scene of the crash and Sanon getting out of the Lexus at his home after the crash, according to police.
Records show Sanon was arrested and corrections booked him on Thursday. He faced a charge of fleeing the scene of an accident involving death, a first-degree felony.
